AMD is a semiconductor company founded in 1969 that began with logic and memory chips before expanding into microprocessors in the 1980s, becoming a major competitor to Intel.

The company helped shape modern computing with key innovations like 64-bit x86 processors and early multi-core CPUs in the 2000s and strengthened its position in graphics by acquiring ATI Technologies in 2006.

After a period of decline, AMD returned to prominence with the launch of its Zen architecture and Ryzen processors in 2017, establishing itself as a leader in CPUs, GPUs, and high-performance computing today. In 2022, AMD further expanded into adaptive computing with its acquisition of Xilinx, adding FPGAs and adaptive SoCs to its portfolio.

An integrated circuit (IC) is a semiconductor chip that contains transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components on a single silicon substrate. ICs are the foundation of modern electronics and power devices such as smartphones, computers, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.

Integrated circuits work by routing electrical signals through microscopic semiconductor components fabricated onto a silicon chip. Depending on the design, ICs can process, amplify, store, or control electronic data.

Integrated circuits are used in:

• Consumer electronics
• Automotive electronics
• Industrial automation
• Telecommunications equipment
• Medical devices
• Computers and servers
• IoT and embedded systems

The different types of integrated circuits include:

• Analog ICs
• Digital ICs
• Mixed-signal ICs
• Power management ICs
• Microprocessors and microcontrollers
• Memory ICs

As a full line supplier, we specialize in sourcing obsolete and hard to find electronic components for your projects.

After we receive your request submission, one of our account executives will reach out to your team to gather more information about your project requirements and ensure we tailor the order to your needs.

Once requirements such as date codes, quantities, target prices, testing requirements, and more are discussed, our purchasing team will secure stock through Microchip USA’s direct access to manufacturing partners’ excess inventory lists.

Our operations teams will handle logistics and fulfillment to ensure supply chain continuity, and our support team will provide clear communication throughout the process.

Our net terms for electronic component sourcing are flexible and vary by order. Our account executives will work with you to ensure our terms meet your company’s needs. We also offer scheduled shipments and inventory management solutions to ensure a steady supply of electronic components, maintain cash flow, and maximize warranty periods. We always offer a warranty on all tested parts. See our sales terms and conditions for more information.
